Carlota Ciganda became the second Spanish player to win the tournament as she recorded a four-shot victory. The Solheim Cup star produced a final round of 67 (-5) to give her a winning total of 15-under-par for the tournament. She joined Azahara Munoz in winning her national championship.

Ciganda, who held a three-shot lead coming into the final day, had an excellent front nine at Los Naranjos Golf Club with two birdies and an eagle to make the turn in 32 (-4). The 31-year-old remained calm and collected on the back nine and finished with a flourish, rolling in a birdie on the 18th to win her fifth LET title and first since the 2019 Estrella Damm Mediterranean Ladies Open.
